august 19

the kids and i had a great morning in bellevue.  we parked on main street and started with cupcakes at cupcake royale and then shopped along main street until we ended up at a deli i've been wanting to try for lunch.  it was warm and sunny so we sat outside and enjoyed a delicious lunch.  we rarely have lunch out so it felt like a special treat.

in the afternoon we had SRELC's end of school picnic.  every year they throw a great party for the kids and their families.  there was good food, a bouncy house, games, face painting, sno cones, live music and dizzy's tumble bus was even there for the kids to play in.  we all had a great time and the kids had tons of fun.  brooke was so happy to run around with her little girlfriends, and gavin was just as happy to tag along.  it was a beautiful evening and a special way to say goodbye to a great school that has meant so much to us during our time in snoqualmie.
